How does your garden grow?

Well, I forgot to put up pictures the other day, so I will put them up now. Apparently the only things I have taken photos of this summer are the gardens, so that's what you get. :)
First we have our leafy greens: There is some kale & parsley in with a couple kinds of lettuce as well as beets & a few huge zucchini leaves. Our salad greens are by far the most successful thing we grow- thy don't ever get big like the ones in the store, but they are abundant, happy & tasty.

Next we have cherries! We planted the little tree 2 or 3 years ago, and this is the first year we'd gotten anything from it (as expected). We only got 5 cherries, but they were delicious! Also, I just really liked this photo.

Here is a photo of our entire veggie garden ( and Stitch). You can see the hops growing up the garage in the background. (The electrical inspector came by today & passed us for this preliminary wiring stage, so R is doing a good job so far, even if it frustrates him most of the time.) I always manage to take photos at the worst time for light- it's too bright, oh well.

Our front yard is also doing well now that it's finally summer: We have foxglove, lilies, California poppies, lavender, lamb's ear, and dusty miller in bloom visible in this photo. Our flower garden is finally starting to look lush & vibrant! I wish our lilacs & hydrangeas would grow though.

The last picture is a small bit of harvested veg, thinnings & some artichokes, but I thought it was a really neat composition photo.

Time to go pick things before they bolt, I hope all of you are doing well!
